Sure but I never had any delusions about this team winning anything last year and nobody paying attention should've either. This plan has seemed pretty clear. It's unfortunate that it's necessary but there's only one way out of this mess.

Did they? I don't remember Chris Getz ever saying they were competing last year. They were always going to be awful and they got nothing from Luis Robert, Yoan Moncada or Eloy Jimenez.

Very few from last years international class are coming stateside. Jurdrick Profar is and Yhoiker Fajardo was going to prior to being traded.

He was their hitting coach last year and they won the Southern League title

If the Blue Jays are trading for space without having a commitment from him, I think that's nuts. There's nobody to spend $2 million on if he chooses the Dodgers.

I think they’re much more likely to spend more money on prospects than trade it at this point.

I’ll have an international article out in the morning that offers plenty of context with Keller quotes etc.

This is definitely a thing. Guys get money at like 14-years-old. Sometimes they get way better and sometimes they get way worse. David Keller has been all over the marketplace He won't rank. We will have a tough time ranking Alejandro Cruz at this point. The system is pretty damn good.

A few things I found interesting. 1. He spoke to David Keller that morning about signing someone on international market. Sox were in attendance to watch Cuban teenager Cristian Rego. 2. Peyton Pallette is a dude in relief 3. He expects to sign someone to a $100 million contract 4. The story about his buddy from the day he was hired was tremendous

Definitely the best appearance Chris Getz has had anywhere

Ownership is just not spending that type of money this offseason

Yeah but it makes more sense when you're better. They won't be signing free agents with QO next winter either. True. I think it's more about the bonus pool lost than anything. There's zero reason the Sox should be forfeiting draft picks right now though.

Correct but the signing team still forfeits the picks.
